New Block from Bitspower

I think what he is saying is that BP is trying to find one, not that they can't find one.

**Bojamijams** · 08-21-2008, 11:38 AM

Ohh... I hope so

**Pellepel** · 08-21-2008, 03:01 PM

I'm with Bojamijams on this one. Yes we need one Vincent

The NB's fan is awfully loud! The EVGA 750i and 780i PCB reference board is so close.

EK's 780i's NB block fits the 750i's, not 100% because obstruction of the nut that came with the block, but the holes line up perfectly, and it will still work if you just leave the nut out...I hope you'll be able to find one, I'm thinking it might fit, but who knows there might be some capcitor that could destroy our hope...

Would love an update! I'm currently fighting with myself over evga 780i ftw or 790i ftw, evga failed me in not releasing the ftw with waterblocks, so these bitspower blocks look excellent! How are they coming along?

I need these end of September at the absolute latest or I'm going to have to go with a different block

BTW, BP-Vincent should be getting manufacturer rep status here on XS soon.

**tekjunkie** · 08-27-2008, 05:57 PM

Maybe they are running into some unforseen manufacturing problems, considering that they are not that much into designing and manufacturing blocks and hopefully all the issues are resolved before it comes out to the market. Sorry can't help but speculate since it's taking forever to release the blocks.

Sorry for the delay..

Here I show you new Black Freezer A790NS for ASUS Stricker II Extreme

Later will have all of them be announced

**twwen2** · 08-28-2008, 03:10 AM

Very nice as usual vincent.

**twwen2** · 08-28-2008, 04:03 AM

Hmm, i like it, but do you think you have enough bolts/screws on that thing vincent?

Should be fine...

Na i was having a cheeky jab at the amount of bolts used to secure the top of the wb to the base. And thus the <

I think it looks real good too. Lots of bolts but you have to make sure you get even pressure on the O-ring otherwise you'll pinch it and possibly get leaks. I like it.

True, that's a good thing. R3 knows a good thing when he sees it!

Build quality and attention to detail...............FTW!

Looks pretty restrictive to me...

Pretty much common sense..the blk is way flatter than the VJ or Ek offerings...which means more restriction...

Ok fair point. It does look kinda thin.

I don't think water circulates all the way down to the sb. After all, that part doesn't even get that hot. It's probably just a nb block with a long heatsink.

I'm not particularly worried about it myself. Cooling of the SB is really secondary, after all most of them are cooled currently using either heat pipes or very tiny heatsinks, so really just about anything will be an improvement. Being able to reclaim the expansion slots immediately above both of those is of far more value to me than a couple extra degrees or a little bit of restriction.
